Srinagar, Jan 07: Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) has said that transfer of official is government’s prerogative and a routine administrative process.
However, as an apex organisation, KCCI appreciates the support and cooperation it received from the officials it got an opportunity to work with closely while looking forward to work with the officials who are taking up their assignments.
“The KCCI takes this opportunity to commend the proactive role of Ajaz Assad Khan as the Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar. It was due to his strenuous efforts that the KCCI elections were conducted under his supervision after a gap of four and a half years. His role in putting KCCI back on rails will be long remembered,” reads the statement.
The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce would also like to put on record his easy approachability despite his hectic schedule and would resolve issues falling under his domain facing the trade.
The KCCI got an opportunity to work with Athar Amir Khan during his tenure as Commissioner SMC/CEO Smart City and found him receptive and positive about the suggestions made by KCCI for development of Srinagar City particularly in restoring the heritage character of Shahr-e-Khas. “Same goes for the transformation the city has witnessed under the Srinagar Smart City Project. KCCI believes that in his new role as Administrative Secretary Planning Department he has a larger role to play.”
The KCCI also commended Syed Abid Rashid for his role as Secretary Tourism during which time he made tireless efforts for streamlining the registration and renewal of tourism service providers. The Department earned national and international acclaim during his tenure.
The KCCI while wishing these officers well in their new assignments looks forward to work closely with their successors in the best interests of trade, commerce and industry.
